Hello folks, I would like to propose implementing new properties to identify the cluster and simplify managing it by external tools (e.g. custom scripts built on top of standard Control Utility).
These properties are Cluster ID (UUID) and Cluster tag (String) exposed through existing IgniteCluster public API. Both properties are generated upon cluster startup (before activation if the cluster requires it) and survived restarts if cluster is configured in persistent mode and regenerated again if it is an in-memory cluster. Cluster ID is immutable and useful more for automated tools while Cluster tag is mutable (may be changed by user) and is supposed to be human readable to view it in any GUI or web-based management solutions. I already created a ticket [1] with some more technical details and invite community to discuss this feature. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-12111 -- Best Regards, Sergey Chugunov.
